Wayne's character has to do what a man has to do and that is seek justice and punish evil doing. They killed his kin and he has to kill them in return. But after doing his duty, the movie ends with every indication that Wayne's character is about to begin procreating 
........All pre-1950 or so westerns are now unfashionable - the ones made before the 'anti western' or the 'adult western' or the 'psychological western' - euphemisms for jew rot and decay. Leone, and Eastwood are both commie scumbags and traitors to traditional Western values. Eastwood may look like a good guy but he is a nigger-loving piece of shit and always has been (pardon my fucking French) The Big Trail upholds just the values that Leone and Eastwood mock and denigrate. Hawks' westerns and Ford westerns mostly reflect good values too (my favorite western is probably Fort Apache). The Western was the only truely American film genre, but the jews have twisted that so that film noir is now sold as what is really American. |
No, but I will check it out. In your last paragraph you put words to my feeling, thanks. One gets tired of all the cynical lone hero/antihero bullshit. I think that's why I liked High Plains Drifter. The hero is mythic, vengeful, almost ghostlike. Not a real person, so there is no disaffected, atomistic, wanderer bullshit.
Reminds me one more thing. Here's a movie I like: Moby Dick. With Gregory Peck. I read the book too-- Ok I skipped a few chapters in the middle about cetacea. lol. But the "monomaniacal" Ahab is just presented by Melville, and in the movie too-- just shown, depicted. You gain a respect for his POWERS OF CONCENTRATION. For his DEDICATION. You also appreciate the danger of it to the individual and those who follow him-- as the Greeks say, pan metron ariston-- in all things moderation. But, with Ahab there is no moderation. Yet and while it destroys him, that is also the infectious power he passes in the grog... that he gives to the harpooners and lancers when he grabs their lances and harpoons in his one hand... when he says "BANISH YE NOW ALL FEAR!" Ishmael respects Ahab, even in the end. There is no cynicism there, there is no whiny crap, there is just a powerful character study into the soul of a great man, an unflinching staring into the abyss.
